I am sharing an easy Asian style stir-fry zoodles recipe with the addition of vegetables and sauces.

Ingredients Required

  • Zucchini: Use firm, fresh, blemish-free zucchini for making zoodles. You can combine yellow and green zucchini also.
  • Vegetables: Add julienned vegetables like onion, carrots, bell pepper, and capsicum.
  • Greens: Spring Onion, Bok Choi, Baby Spinach, or Thai Basil are my favourite addition to make zoodles more nutrition rich.
  • Sauce & Seasoning: Rice Vinegar, Light Soy Sauce, Red Chilli Paste, Salt, Black Pepper, Chilli Flakes
  • Oil: I prefer stir-frying in roasted sesame oil. You can substitute it with peanut oil or light olive oil.
  • Garlic, Ginger, Red Chilli, Roasted Peanuts

Equipment Required

There are 5 fun and quirky kitchen tools I am using for this Zoodle recipe: a garlic and ginger peeler, a mini chopper, a handheld spiralizer, a 3-in-1 julienne peeler, and an adjustable pepper grinder.

All these kitchen equipment are from Flipkart; they are

  • sleek and stylish
  • budget-friendly 
  • easy to use and clean
  • has multi-purpose functioning
  • helps to get creative in the kitchen
  • convenient to store and carry around

You can find more useful and quirky kitchen tools on Flipkart to make everyday meal fun.

How To Make Zoodles

The easiest way to make Zucchini noodles is to use a vegetable spiralizer. It makes long, curly zoodles effortlessly.

A spiralizer is a great multi-purpose tool to add to your kitchen. I purchased mine from Flipkart for less than INR 700. It requires no battery or electricity. It requires no battery or electricity, and you can easily adjust the thickness/shape of the noodles by selecting different blade settings.

To make zoodles

  1. Wash the zucchini nicely and wipe them dry with a kitchen towel.
  2. Cut off the ends of the zucchini.
  3. Set the thickness of the spiralizer blade according to your requirement.
  4. Skewer the top of the zucchini onto the side of the spiralizer with the handle, then poke the other end into the side with the blade.
  5. Crank the handle repeatedly, continuously pushing the zucchini toward the blade and watch the zoodles come out the other side.
  6. Collect them in a colander and use them to make stir fry.

How To Stir Fry Zoodles

Step 1) Start with peeling garlic and ginger. I use a silicone garlic peeler from Flipkart for the same. It saves me a lot of time and is so convenient to use. This garlic peeper is safe to use, non-toxic, and has no peculiar smell. 

Step 2: Next, finely mince the garlic and ginger, and for the same, I use a mini chopper from Flipkart. It is perfect for chopping small quantities of herbs, onions, or vegetables. The blades are so sharp. It comes with a chargeable battery. Electric Mini Food Chopper is a great investment for your kitchen. It’s a great way to cut down on prep time.

Plus this mini electric chopper takes up a small space on the kitchen counter and can be stored inside the cupboard or shelf.

Step 3: Cut the vegetables (carrot, bell pepper, onion) into julienne. I use my 3-in-1 vegetable peeler for this purpose. By simply giving a twist, you can turn your whole vegetables into gorgeous juliennes – perfect for vegetable noodles, salads, and gourmet-style garnishes.

Step 4: Heat oil in a wok. Add ginger, garlic, red chilli, and onion. Stir Fry them over high heat for 20 – 30 seconds. No need to brown them.

Step 5: Add julienned vegetables, zoodles, vinegar, soya sauce, chilli paste, salt, and stir fry to cook the vegetables for 1 minute. Don’t overcook the zoodles. You want them to be al dente!

Step 6: Add crushed pepper, peanuts, and chopped spring onion or greens like basil or spinach. My stainless steel, adjustable pepper grinder helps me adjust pepper’s coarseness, plus it looks so stylish.

Stir Fry Zoodles are ready to serve!

Serving Suggestion

These Zucchini Noodles taste great with side dishes like tofu stir fry, vegetables in hot garlic sauce, and other low-carb vegetables like Garlicky Broccoli or Green Beans.

You can serve them with proteins like crispy tofu, chilli paneer, fried egg, or chicken.

Stir Fry Zoodles tastes great without any side dish, just with a drizzle of homemade chilli oil.

My Tried and True Tips

  • The best way to make zucchini noodles for meal prep is to spiralize them in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Pat dry and cook right before eating.
  • Pat zoodles dry with paper towels after spiralizing them. This helps in absorbing all the moisture from the zucchini.
  • DO NOT ADD SALT to zoodles before cooking. They will become soggy and limp.
  • Cook zoodles over high heat to get that smokey flavour and a crisp texture.
  • Do not cover the zucchini noodles during cooking. This will trap moisture.
